Which outcome occurs when hydrogen plasma pressure drops below threshold in a tokamak?

💡 Explanation

The fusion reaction rate is highly dependent on plasma density; a reduction in pressure reduces density, which decreases collisions to allow fusion. Therefore, fusion likelihood declines drastically, because nuclear fusion requires overcoming the Coulomb barrier, rather than other plasma effects dominating.
